His Autograph on q Brick.
TarrinRton (Me.) Chronicle.

Half century ago there was brick-yard on
the north side of the road at the foot of the
Ames hill, called, what now
the Messrs Riggs tannery. One day Captain
F. V. Stewart, then thirty years of age, was in
that yard and while walking around among the
unburned brick which were scattered about he
picked up sharp stick and carelessly wrote the
following upon one of them: IF. V. Stewart.
1886" This brick. with others. went into the
the kiln, was burned. and afterward was laid
into the walls of the old South Church (erected
that year, Nothing more was thought of the
matter till a short time ago. when, workmen
were cleaning the brick from the walls of the
church burned in the great fire, the identical
brick was brought to lght-as perfect in shape
as when laid, and with the inscription upon it as
plain as print. This valuable relic carefully
preserved by Mrs. j. P. Thwine till Mr. Stewards
return from Boston, when she presented it TO
him. Mr.. Stewart is now eighty years of age.
and he says it will take big sum of money to
get that brick away from him.

Fairchild promptly wrote to the posts orderin g
them not to take any notice of the Tribune's re-

ions sent to him from most of the posts, and mas
prepared a voluminous report, which he will pre-
sent at St. Louis in the fall and which will be a

The county board of equalization has about
completed its work. The list of corporations
have all been gone over carefully, and but few
changes have been made in the list. The Hecla
Mining Company is the only corporation which
has given any serious trouble The return sent
in by the company regarded as en-
tirely too small. and after examining all
the witnesses who were supposed to know
of the whereabouts of the companies stock, the
assessment was raised some. Its taxable stock
will be placed at about the same figures as last
year-$270, 900. The list will be revised and
completed to-day The revised report of the

The Sale of the Fairmount Well.

Special to the indianapolis Journa1.
PARAMOUNT. June 22.-The consummatio of
the sale of the great Jumbo gas we'll at this
able talk the part of the citizens of this place.
many of whom are not at all pleased with this
transfer OF the great find to monop-
olists. There is question
about the Standard Oil Company
being at the bottom of the sale, and how they
propose to utilize the flow is yet to be seen,
although it is conjectured the fluid will be pped
to Chicago-a distance of 167 miles-via South
Bend. along the Cincinnati. Wabash & Michigan
and Lake Shore e. Michigan Southern rail-
roads, thus supplying towns on the
route at q nominal expense to the
consumers. Many of our citizens look upon the
sale of the huge gas well as unwise move, and
one that is not calculated to aid Fairmount in
extending her growth, while others denounce
the action of this company in bitter terms, in
view of the fact that the general understanding
that overtures from monopolists in
regard to the purchase of the
well would not be needed. Your correspondent
has it from reliable source that gigantic
scheme is on foot which mag come to the sur

Kokomo Opens Another Big Well.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KoKoMo, June 22-Without doubt the largest
gas-well in the Indiana gas belt was developed
here to-day. Well No 5, known as the Shrader
well. one and one-half mile southeast of the
courthouse, discounts anything yet drilled into
in indiana Trenton rock was reached last night
at depth of 900 feet. The fires were put out
until this morning, when work was resumed and
continued until IL o'clock. when the pressure
became terrific that it was impossible to drill
further. Gas, mingled with dust and stones,
escaped from the pipe with such force to be
thrown to the top of the tall derrick. The well
is 912 feet deep. 1t was the intention to sink it
eight or ten feet deeper. but that is cow clearly
impossible, as well as quite unnecessary. The
magnitude of the flow is a surprise to even the
most sanguine. and experts pronounce it the
king of Indiana wells and the equal of any thus
far known. The we'll is dry, and the gas is of
superior quality.

Albert Lea Standard: We are glad to
note that Austin has quite a good sized
boom this year. It has one disadvantage
however; the people there will be unable
any longer to pasture their cows in the

dozen years. Albert Lea has a regular
boom the year, round, year after year.
and so has learned to take 1t calmly, and
without making so much fuss about it
as do our Austin neighbors.
No doubt, no doubt, but if the STAND
ARD is as far off on Albert LEAFS boom as
1t is on Austin's cow pasture, this boom
is something that can be taken calmly.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
DEVOTED TO CITY SCHOOLS
AND. BUILDINGS.

At the Boaad of Trade Meeting Mon
day evening, several important school
matters were discussed. Mr.. Webb pre-
sented a petition signed by over forty res
idents of the east part of the third ward
representing that the petitioners were
cut off from school by the closing of the
streets crossing the railroad track, also
that Messrs. Clark and Woodsum have
offered land for a schoolheuse site. The
petitioners close by asking that the Board
of Trade appoint a committee to place
these facts before the school board and
show to them the necessity of having a
school house erected on the east side of
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
in the third ward. In accordance with
the prayer of the petition the president,
on motion, appointed as such committee
Messrs. DOR. Webb and Woodsum. It
was suggested that the committee con-
suit with the third ward people on the
advisabilit y of putting up two small
school buildings, one one each side OF
railroad, instead of the large four room
building planned to be built near the
foundry.
After considerable discussion in regard
to the present method of heating it was
voted that the Board of Trade requests
the School Board to heat the school
buildings of Austin with steam.
The Board adjourned to meet next
Monday evening.
All members Of the Board are requested
to be present, as important business viii
